Nanxiong

Nanxiong is in the southern foothills of the Dayu Mountains in northeast Guangdong Province. It borders Jiangxi and Hunan. Since ancient times, the area has been an important passage between the region south of the Nanling Mountains and the Central Plain. It has also become known as the “Dinosaur Capital of China” because of the many dinosaur fossils that have been unearthed here. Nanxiong abounds in tourist attractions. There are many ancient historical and cultural sites here, with those such as Zhuji Ancient Alley, Mei Pass, and the thousand-year-old Sanying (“Three Shadow”) Tower known domestically and abroad.
